Description

On offer here is a very rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by Swindlefolk called 'A-Rovin' and is a MEGA RARE 1968 UK 1st pressing on the 1st Press Deroy label!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!! THIS LP IS QUITE SIMPLY ONE OF THE RAREST LPS ON THE DEROY LABEL AND WAS ONLY EVER PRESSED IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS (LESS THAN 100)!!!! THIS LP IS ALSO THE RAREST SWINDLEFOLK LP BY FAR - AND FEATURES FEMALE VOCALS THROUGHOUT!!!! I HAVE ENCLOSED A CLOSE UP PICTURE OF THE BAND MEMBERS AND TRACK LISTING BELOW IN ONE OF MY PICTURES!!!! LIKE OTHER TINY RUN PRIVATE DEROY PRESSINGS OF THIS TIME - IT FEATURES A HOMEMADE TYPE COVER, WITH A PRINTED COVER BACK , AND A FRONT COVER PICTURE SLICK DESIGNED TO BE TAPED/STUCK ONTO THE COVER FRONT. IN THIS CASE THE SLICK WAS ORIGINALLY NEATLY TAPED ONTO THE COVER FRONT AT THE TOP (THIS IS HOW THE LP CAME) - AND SIGNED ALSO ON THE COVER FRONT BE THE WHOLE BAND (SEE PICTURE)!!!! HOWEVER OVER THE YEARS THE TAPE NATURALLY AGED AND EVENTUALLY FELL OFF - LEAVING THE FRONT COVER SLICK LOOSE. HOWEVER THIS IS EASY TO RE-ATTACH - SHOULD THE WINNING BIDDER SO WISH!!!! BUT OF COURSE THE MAIN RARITY OF THIS LP IS OF COURSE THAT IT IS ON THE ULTRA RARE DEROY LABEL!!!! LATER DEROY PRESSINGS FROM THE MID-70s TURN UP QUITE REGULARLY - BUT REALLY EARLY DEROY PRESSINGS FROM THE LATE 1960s VIRTUALLY NEVER DO!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE - AND IT WILL SURELY BE A VERY VERY LONG TIME BEFORE YOU SEE ANOTHER!!!! THIS IS THE UK 1968 1ST PRESSING ON THE 1ST PRESS DEROY LABEL, 1ST PRESS INNER SLEEVE, AND 1ST PRESS HAND MADE FLIPBACK TYPE COVER!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS MEGA RARE OPPORTUNITY!!!! This is the ORIGINAL UK 1st pressing from 1968 and is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! The Cat. No is ADM LP 521 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Deroy label (see picture) and is a 1968 MONO 1st pressing!!!!

The record labels are in STUNNING condition (see pictures) with NO wear, and only a VERY few light spindle marks!!!! IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HASNT BEEN PLAYED MUCH AT ALL!!!! The vinyl is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, only 2 or 3 MEGA light hairlines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!! THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK!!!! It is great to find that the playing of the record is as STUNNING as the visual!!!! It plays with NO nasty loud pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, NO hiss and only some typical slight crackle in places (though this is 'as pressed' and typical of these VERY early Deroy Private pressings!). The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!! The record must grade Very Good++++ if not better!!!! Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! The record also comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press inner sleeve!!!! The 1st Press Cover is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! The cover has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only VERY slight corner wear (NOT through the colour), only a VERY few light creases (cover is VERY flat looking), and NO writing (apart from the signatures of course)!!!! The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!! Even the unlaminated back is in BRILLIANT condition with NO writing, NO grubbyness, and NO yellowing!!!! Everything else about this cover has been clearly mentioned in my opening description (see above) - is exactly how this cover would have come!!!! The cover must STRICTLY grade Very Good++++!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS MEGA RARE OPPORTUNITY!!!!

HAVE A LOOK AT MY PICTURES - I DO MY BEST TO SHOW THE RECORD FROM ALL ANGLES AND MAKE THE PICTURES AS CLEAR AS POSSIBLE - THERE IS NOTHING TO HIDE!!!! It really is a GREAT looking LP and it is truly rare to find any copies of this MEGA RARE LP!!!! THIS WILL BE YOUR ONLY CHANCE TO BUY AN ORIGINAL 1968 UK 1ST PRESSING OF "A-ROVIN" BY SWINDLEFOLK, IN BRILLIANT CONDITION!!!!
